Timothée Chalamet’s Secret YouTube Channel Is Pure Gold

Though he had stopped selling modded controllers by the time his film career took off, Timothée Chalamet is still a pretty serious gamer. In a «Wonka» red carpet interview with IGN in 2023, he said that he’d finally played «Red Dead Redemption 2» and loved it. Just a few months earlier, Chalamet appeared at the Game Awards to announce the 2023 game of the year, «Baldur’s Gate 3.» Host Geoff Keighley introduced him at the show as ModdedController360.

If this was something you didn’t know about Timothée Chalamet, revel in the newfound discovery. His old videos — short and few as they are — remain hilarious time capsules of the early 2010s. «Shout out to ‘Modern Warfare 2,’» the future star adds at the end of the video above. «Best video game right now.» And boy oh boy, if you were a gaming-obsessed pre-teen playing M-rated video games in 2010, you’ll know just how true that was.

Of course, fans of the golden era of «CoD» may not be so happy to know Chalamet was a self-professed trigger modder, turning the single-fire FAL rifle into a rapid-fire game ruiner. So just know that if you ever rage quit out of a team deathmatch round on Favela, it might have been Willy Wonka wracking up killstreaks on the other team.
